Lou Reed dead at 71. (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/lou-reed-velvet-underground-leader-and-rock-pioneer-dead-at-71-20131027)

Shame to see such a hugely important musician go but he did bloody well to make it to 71 given the life he lived.

I don't know, but it's tricky to handle it.  You don't want to kill off the character in the movie, but if they haven't got enough footage to fake it (like Oliver Reed in Gladiator), I'm not sure what they can do.  They can't pull a Heath Ledger.  I'm guessing they work it into an arrest if there's enough footage to pull it off.

When Justin Lin left the series, I figured it was doomed anyway.  This kind of seals it.  It's a shame.  Lin should have done nothing but make FF movies for the rest of his life.  Change the cast, keep pumping them out.

Apparently his last tweet was from the F&F 7 set. So they have some footage, but no idea how much. I can't decide if it would be better or worse for them to have almost no footage, or for Walker's portion of F&F7 to have been 98% completed.

I agree here, I don't think an arrest makes sense with the tone of the series. If Brian got arrested, then Dom would simply do everything in his power to break him out of jail.

He has to die unless by miracle his portion of the filming is already done, but I think that is probably pretty unlikely.

While it makes the most sense plot wise, killing off a character in a car movie when the actor died in a fiery crash is risky publicity at the very least.  It could kill the series.

I was thinking if they have no footage, they can simply write him out of the story and say Dom wants to keep Brian safe now that he has a baby. but with 98% done, I suppose they could fake a few moments of the movie to make it work.

How far were they in the dark knight when Ledger died?

IIRC, they canceled a few last minute reshoots and that was it.  It was The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus that wasn't done, and Gilliam hired multiple other actors to finish his role.

This is very true. these are in no way shape or form, "elite" movies from a plot perspective, but they are wildly entertaining. If you want a great story with an exceptional plot, these sure as heck don't fit the bill. But from a pure entertainment perspective, these definitely fit the bill.

Yes, to not be able to enjoy something is a loss. You're missing out on a source of entertainment.  Not sure what's debatable about that.

No the "wtf" was not because they were attempting to get them out, it was because that means they weren't far behind them. As I read it or the article made it seem, they were trailing or not far behind the Porsche or something, that was the WTF moment. It's natural to want to get them out of the car, I have no problem with that.

Not to mention a human meat grinder that fans were encouraged to come on stage and jump in.  Just terrible music, but if you can watch an early 90's set somewhere it is pretty awesome.

I heard they weren't having a funeral.

Not that I give a excrement. I think protesting at a funeral is bullshit either way. I could get behind defacing/defiling his grave though, that would take some balls.

If there is any concern of protest, they should just dig 3 more graves.  3 random random protesters are buried alive.  End of problem.

Well if the municipality where they're protesting the funeral have a police force that is actually alive and breathing, the Police can pretty much figure out where the next crime in their city is going to be committed.This is despite the fact the Police would love to do what they do in hockey and "let'em go". Same excrement happens at white supremist/kkk rally's.

Point taken. Marky Ramone is absolutely part of the classic Ramones lineup, but he isn't a founding member. I fully accept that that's like saying that Paul Di'Anno is more important to Iron Maiden than Bruce Dickinson, which would of course be rubbish.

Side note, but I went to a show that at the time was the only time they were all on stage together.  97 I think.  In NY.  Got a boxed set signed by all of them, gave it to my sister for Christmas.  10 years later I found out she sold it.  Bitch.

Not what I did and I wouldn't label just anyone the word, hero. He was part and parcel to an event that led to the end of the war.

But only the losing side are considered war criminals. The winners are "heros". Look throughout history and this is Almost universally the case.

No one talks about how the soviets literally committed millions of rapes after they occupied Germany or how American soldiers did the same (on a much  much smaller scale) in France  after they liberated the country. There was even a saying in France that they had to hide their men from the Germans soldiers , but their women from the Americans.


I think many Americans are indoctrinated/ blind to our brutal military history. Vietnam being one of the biggest examples. What we did to that country is beyond horrific and it was
Systematically done by incompetent military leadership. The government and military did a lot to cover it up.

And just something interesting from Wikipedia I read
Quote
On August 7, a day after Hiroshima was destroyed, Dr. Yoshio Nishina and other atomic physicists arrived at the city, and carefully examined the damage. They then went back to Tokyo and told the cabinets that Hiroshima was indeed destroyed by an atomic bomb. Admiral Soemu Toyoda, the Chief of the Naval General Staff, estimated that no more than one or two additional bombs could be readied so they decided to endure the remaining attacks, acknowledging "there would be more destruction but the war would go on."[161] American Magic codebreakers intercepted the cabinets' messages.[162]

So Japan knew what would happen, but decided that getting hit by 2 or 3 more bombs would be "acceptable"

Pretty effed up leadership

Wikipedia isn't very reliable when it comes to war related things.

You'd be surprised at how many declassified military documents have been released in the past 20 years (at least ones that weren't outright destroyed) due to laws.  There's been a multitude of books written on WW2, Korea and Vietnam related to these documents recently.

They're still waiting declassification on some JFK files

The absolutely mind-blowing thing is that even after the second bomb dropped, the Japanese military wanted to fight on. It was only until after the Soviets basically rolled over Manchuria that they decided to surrender. The military guys in power knew that they were done, so selfishly wanted to keep the war on so they can die in battle or whatever.

I don't know how factual that specific part is but There was always a divide between the military and the rest of the people in power.

A lot of excrement that happened in China was because Tokyo had no control over their generals.

In fact Tokyo didn't even want to attack indochina but the military basically did anyways. Only then is when the western powers gave a excrement because of their colonial interests.

I think many Americans are indoctrinated/ blind to our brutal military history. Vietnam being one of the biggest examples. What we did to that country is beyond horrific and it was systematically done by incompetent military leadership. The government and military did a lot to cover it up.

If anything the horrors of the Vietnam War were more publicized than any war before it.

Some were. Obviously it had a huge impact on the anti war movement but it was only scratching the surface.

People were outraged over My Lai but there were hundreds of events similar to My Lai. That was just the first one that made it's way to the public eye.

Tough crowd here

Stopping Hitler and the Nazi's not good enough for ya

These guys were on the side that were committing genocide, and trying to exterminate groups of people from existence.

Bad things happened, but it was to stop some of the worst people in all of time

You realize Hitler was defeated and dead 3 months before Hiroshima, right?

The argument can be made that fewer lives were taken by the bombs than a land war would have taken.  You can also argue that preventing a Soviet presence in Japan was instrumental to Japan's rise later in the century.  Either way, no one can call it an unequivocally bad choice.

Not empire in the territorial sense, but certainly in the economic and influential sense. The Soviet Union was a close second. Had we not entered the war, the Soviets would have taken the top position.

The guys up at the front counter kept asking the guy if he was a big Stone Temple Pilots / Scott Weiland fan and confused the excrement out of him. One of those things you had to be there for I guess but whenever I think back on it it makes me laugh like a dumbass for a few seconds. That's my anecdote for the day, godspeed all

Bill Johnson

Quote
Bill Johnson, the brash American who became the first U.S. skier to win an Olympic downhill title, died after a long illness, the U.S. ski team said Friday. He was 55.Megan Harrod, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Alpine team, said Johnson died Thursday at an assisted living facility in Gresham, Oregon.

Johnson's health had been on the decline for several years after a series of strokes.

Johnson won the downhill at the 1984 Sarajevo Olympics, the first American to capture gold in Alpine skiing's marquee event. He was also the first American male to win an Olympic gold in any Alpine event.

He became an iconic figure to many Americans by predicting he would win Olympic gold.

"They related to Billy — that brash, throw-it-in-your-face type attitude," Phil Mahre, who won the Olympic slalom in 1984, said in 2012. "When you tell people you're going to go do something and then you go out and back it up like in Sarajevo, it's pretty impressive."

Johnson tried to make a comeback ahead of the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics at the age of 40, but crashed in a downhill training run in 2001 at the U.S. championships at The Big Mountain near Whitefish, Montana. He sustained a traumatic brain injury that erased nearly a decade of memories. He had to learn how to walk, talk and eat again.

Johnson made steady improvement over the years, even returning to the slopes for recreation. But his health deteriorated again because of strokes, and he spent his last years in the assisted living center near Portland.

"Bill was an unbelievable fighter since his injury. He went through a lot. It's sad," Olympic super-G silver medalist Andrew Weibrecht said Friday. "He was the guy that really jump-started American downhill racing. Nothing had really happened much up until '84 when Bill came and had that fantastic run in Sarajevo and that same year he won Wengen."

"He really paved the way for guys like Tommy Moe, A.J. Kitt and Kyle Rasmussen to realize that it's possible. In turn these guys paved the way for our generation," Weibrecht said after finishing second in a World Cup super-G in Kitzbuehel.

Weibrecht's teammate Steven Nyman also paid tribute to Johnson.

"He didn't care what anyone said, he did it his way. And he did really good," Nyman said. "There was a couple of years where he was really good and he kind of paved the way for us. For some reason, Americans have done well in Olympic downhills, with him, Bode (Miller) and Tommy Moe. Hopefully I can follow in his tracks."

Nyman, who met Johnson a few times, recalled how he and teammate Marco Sullivan sent Johnson a short video to congratulate him on his birthday last spring."He sent us a message back and really appreciated it. It meant something," Nyman said.

"It's really sad," Lindsey Vonn, winner of the 2010 women's Olympic downhill title, said Friday. "He's had a rough couple of years and it's been sad to watch him deteriorate like that. But you know when you're in a state like that I think it's a blessing sometimes. He was an incredible legend in our sport so I just hope he rests in peace and my condolences to his family."

Johnson, who was born in Los Angeles, grew up racing at Bogus Basin, Idaho, and Mt. Hood, Oregon.

Caught stealing cars as a teenager, the judge gave him a choice: Attend ski school or head to jail. So he went to Mission Ridge Ski Academy in Washington, where he developed his talent.

Johnson established himself on the global scene when he won the Lauberhorn downhill in Wengen, Switzerland, in 1984 in his second year on the World Cup circuit.

A month later, Johnson went to Sarajevo and cockily predicted that he would win, annoying his European rivals. He came through, beating silver medalist Peter Mueller of Switzerland by 0.27 seconds.

"What he did that day was amazing at the time," said Bill Marolt, former president and CEO of the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association. "In retrospect, it's still amazing."

Johnson won twice more on the World Cup circuit in 1984 in Aspen and Whistler, but never stepped on the podium again. He went through knee and back injuries that curtailed his career and prevented him from defending his title at the 1988 Calgary Olympics.

"He was just a legend," American speed racer Travis Ganong said. "He used to be a pioneer for American downhill skiing. ... He was an amazing skier and was a legend of the sport. He will be dearly missed for sure."

Vonn and Tommy Moe are the only other American skiers to win Olympic gold in downhill.

Vonn, who was competing in downhill training Friday ahead of a World Cup race in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, said Johnson was a trailblazer for American downhillers.

"He was definitely a pioneer — first American to win an Olympic downhill gold medal," Vonn said. "So for sure, an inspiration and for Americans definitely a legend in the sport."

Quote
"Probably in 1983, while we were on tour with him, he invited me up to his hotel room, and he says, 'Come up and have a couple of drinks.' So I said, 'Sure, man. freaking great!' So we sat down and he pulled out a forty-ounce bottle of vodka and a couple of crates of orange juice and these big tall glasses that probably hold twenty ounces of fluid. So he fills it up with about ten ounces of vodka and then tops it off with orange juice, and then we start drinking. Of course, I get about three or four shots in, and I'm freaking wasted because I'm not a drinker. So he goes, 'You're starting to look a little buzzed there, Lips.' So he pulls out a little leather pouch and a pocket knife and dips his pocket knife into this white powder, and it's freaking amphetamines; it's freaking speed. And he sticks it right under my nose and he goes, 'freaking sniff, right!' And it's like [I consumed] no alcohol. I'm straight as a freaking judge! 'Wow! Okay, this is cool!' We keep going and keep going, and the next thing I know, there's a knock on the freaking door and it's the tour manager. And he goes, 'Time to go to the gig, guys.' And it was supposed to be our day off. And I'm, like, 'We're on our day off. What do you mean go to the gig?' And he goes, 'Guys, you've been sitting in here for 24 freaking hours. Get your excrement together and let's go!' 'What happened?' [Laughs] So I get to the gig and I can barely freaking walk, I'm so fucked up. And Lemmy walks in and takes a look at me and goes, 'You're looking freaking knackered, mate. Maybe you oughta try one of these.' He pulls out a little plastic bag and it's filled with little black capsules, and he says, 'These are called black bombers. Take two.' And I go, 'You know what, Lemmy? After last night, I'm only taking one!' Well I ate the pill, and freak, I did the gig! I could have done five! [Laughs] All my hair stood on end. And I go, 'Holy freak!'"


That's who the freak Lemmy is.

It is a bit annoying that some people are crying about Prince  that didn't give 2 shits about him yesterday.  They act like they went on tour with him or he was their Dad or some excrement.  None of them were on Twitter proclaiming his greatness while he was alive.

Lemmy died the end of last year, so if we include him we can also include Scott Weiland. It's been an awful last few months for music.

I'm glad I'm going to see GnR at MetLife. I never saw them as a kid. Who knows how long Axl and Slash will be around.

Now I regret not finding a way to get a ticket for Foo Fighters at Citifield. My wife and kids went, but we couldn't get one more ticket together so I sacrificed going for them. Next time they come around I'm going.

RIP Prince.

Prince is a renowned poopchute among his peers. But being literally one of the greatest musicians of all time buys you some leeway.

I really wanted to see it but my wife and kids did too. I see probably 10 concerts a year, my kids almost never do so I put them ahead of myself for Foo. They raved about it afterward so I was glad I let them go even though I was a bit jealous. (I got to hear some of it from waiting in the car out on Roosevelt--when the cops weren't chasing me away, that is.)

As for Prince, Eric Clapton was once asked how it was to be the greatest guitarist alive and he answered "I don't know, go ask Prince." The greatest artists in the world had nothing but respect for Prince. It's ridiculous to knock him for being an poopchute.

Especially when you're publicly rooting for Donald Trump.

Irishman Dies from Stubbornness, Whiskey

Chris Connors died, at age 67, after trying to box his bikini-clad hospice nurse just moments earlier. Ladies man, game slayer, and outlaw Connors told his last inappropriate joke on Friday, December 9, 2016, that which cannot be printed here. Anyone else fighting ALS and stage 4 pancreatic cancer would have gone quietly into the night, but Connors was stark naked drinking Veuve in a house full of friends and family as Al Green played from the speakers. The way he died is just like he lived: he wrote his own rules, he fought authority and he paved his own way. And if you said he couldn’t do it, he would make sure he could.


Most people thought he was crazy for swimming in the ocean in January; for being a skinny Irish Golden Gloves boxer from Quincy, Massachusetts; for dressing up as a priest and then proceeding to get into a fight at a Jewish deli. Many gawked at his start of a career on Wall Street without a financial background – but instead with an intelligent, impish smile, love for the spoken word, irreverent sense of humor, and stunning blue eyes that could make anyone fall in love with him.

As much as people knew hanging out with him would end in a night in jail or a killer screwdriver hangover, he was the type of man that people would drive 16 hours at the drop of a dime to come see. He lived 1000 years in the 67 calendar years we had with him because he attacked life; he grabbed it by the lapels, kissed it, and swung it back onto the dance floor. At the age of 26 he planned to circumnavigate the world – instead, he ended up spending 40 hours on a life raft off the coast of Panama. In 1974, he founded the Quincy Rugby Club. In his thirties, he sustained a knife wound after saving a woman from being mugged in New York City. He didn’t slow down: at age 64, he climbed to the base camp of Mount Everest. Throughout his life, he was an accomplished hunter and birth control device tester (with some failures, notably Caitlin Connors, 33; Chris Connors, 11; and Liam Connors, 8).

He was a rare combination of someone who had a love of life and a firm understanding of what was important – the simplicity of living a life with those you love. Although he threw some of the most memorable parties during the greater half of a century, he would trade it all for a night in front of the fire with his family in Maine. His acute awareness of the importance of a life lived with the ones you love over any material possession was only handicapped by his territorial attachment to the remote control of his Sonos music.

Chris enjoyed cross dressing, a well-made fire, and mashed potatoes with lots of butter. His regrets were few, but include eating a rotisserie hot dog from an unmemorable convenience store in the summer of 1986.

Of all the people he touched, both willing and unwilling, his most proud achievement in life was marrying his wife Emily Ayer Connors who supported him in all his glory during his heyday, and lovingly supported him physically during their last days together.

Absolut vodka and Simply Orange companies are devastated by the loss of Connors. A “Celebration of Life” will be held during Happy Hour (4 p.m.) at York Harbor Inn on Monday, December 19.

In lieu of flowers, please pay open bar tab or donate to Connors’ water safety fund at www.thechrisconnorsfund.com.

There's a doc called Hype! from a few years back chronicling the early Seattle/grunge scene and they show a Soundgarden concert and, I wish I could remember the name of the song, they sounded even better live than on the records. He did have some voice, rip.

I think this is wrong, only because it depends on the context. It's not that Morello is a "great" guitarist. I wouldn't put him on a Mount Rushmore. What I think is great about Morello is the crazy excrement he does with a guitar. The solo in Be Yourself is one of my favorite riffs ever. It's not the opening to Welcome to the Jungle, but it's just fun to listen to.

I wasn't a huge LP fan, but I like them enough to listen whenever their old songs come on. I also saw them at Jones Beach a few years ago. They put on an okay show, but it was raining so who knows how that played into the experience.

Linger and Dreams were both great examples of the jangly guitar pop sound that was so popular at the time, but Zombie is a masterpiece. Seriously, listen to it again.

Yeah, I was a big fan of The Sundays, so Dreams and Linger worked for me.  Seemed Rollins or them were always guest hosting 120 minutes on MTV.

Zombie is my wife's favorite Cranberries song, so I've heard it a million times.  It's not a bad song my any means, but it just doesn't do it for me.

Reading, Writing and Arithmetic was a brilliant album. I haven't heard it in years, I must put it on Spotify and rediscover it.

Quote
John McCain and I were members of different generations, came from completely different backgrounds, and competed at the highest level of politics. But we shared, for all our differences, a fidelity to something higher – the ideals for which generations of Americans and immigrants alike have fought, marched, and sacrificed. We saw our political battles, even, as a privilege, something noble, an opportunity to serve as stewards of those high ideals at home, and to advance them around the world. We saw this country as a place where anything is possible – and citizenship as our patriotic obligation to ensure it forever remains that way.

Few of us have been tested the way John once was, or required to show the kind of courage that he did. But all of us can aspire to the courage to put the greater good above our own. At John’s best, he showed us what that means. And for that, we are all in his debt. Michelle and I send our most heartfelt condolences to Cindy and their family.

He was the most important person in comics for quite a while, and in a way is responsible for the creation of the largest financially successful movie franchise in history.

It will be weird watching an MCU movie and not seeing him do a cameo.

Hell he even Cameo'ed in the Spiderman game

Stan Lee was my youngest son's hero. He once did a project on Lee for school, so we learned a lot about him. A lot of people have been talking about how Sears going out of business is a shame because sending out their catalogs during the Jim Crow era was subversive, but Lee was pretty subversive via comics.

We, fortunately, got to meet him at his last Comic-Con appearance a couple of years ago. Genuinely nice person. My little guy was absolutely stunned when we told him yesterday. RIP, Excelsior.

Yes (he spot filled at 2nd and 3rd esp. later on).  A Bluejay for the most part he came to the Yanks in '95, got hurt, Yanks called up Derek Jeter to the majors for the first time.   Fernandez was going to slide over to 2nd base in '96 but he hurt his elbow in spring training and missed the entire season.  Smooth as silk glove, great 'flick' throwing motion (a la Manny Trillo).

Saw a post on another forum saying the loss of Riley Page is comparable to Cliff Burton's death in the late 80s.

It will crush that scene. 



I don't know if that's quite true; Metallica in the Cliff Burton era were creating the thrash sound. Power Trip are amazing, but they're new blood in an existing scene rather than true pioneers the way Cliff's Metallica were. That said, there aren't that many young bands making good new thrash, and Power Trip were leading the way.

I just don't know if there's anyone left the carry that torch with Power Trip likely finished.

No, I don't either. There have been good albums in recent years from bands like Anthrax and Death Angel, but they're old men who've been doing this a long time. There's a band I like called War Curse who are from somewhere like Iowa, but they're not on Power Trip's level.

Haha can't be racist if you hate everyone..........was it Sharpton that used to go on the Morton Downey JR show and get owned. Innis was on there all the time. Morton Downey was a looney show.

Sharpton and Jesse Jackson used to shake down corporations in the name of social justice. They would call out Corporation X, Corp X would pay the rainbow coalition millions in tax free donations and all of a sudden said company no longer has poor hiring policies. It's unfortunate many of the people doing needed work do it to line their pockets.

Safe assumption is if they made their debut before 1990, it's likely some combination of prolonged usage of coke/somas/steroids. You get your rare exceptions-Earthquake for example died of cancer.

This situation with Jon Huber is truly terrible though. Young guy, young kids, young family just really hitting the prime of his career.

No, you should have noticed that I posted about her 5 hours before you did.

FTR, I don't believe that I have ever seen That 70s Show, much less know who any of the characters are, and A View To A Kill was the first Bond movie I ever saw in the cinema. I had the Duran Duran theme song on a 7" single.

rush is, sorry was, a terrible terrible piece of garbage and im extremely happy he is dead. im only upset he didnt suffer even more while he was dying of cancer. i was really hoping he'd slip into a vegetative state so everyone could pontificate and disregard his wishes and just force him to stay alive as a rotten vegetable, that would have been pretty funny.

or maybe like, a horrible car accident where he is the only one hurt, but he loses a couple limbs and has horrible infections and bleeding and dies a painful death over a few months. that would have been pretty boss, too.

ohhh or maybe his wife could have divorced him on his death bed after telling her shes been freaking the cabana boy from their trip to hedonism.

i was really hoping he'd slip into a vegetative state so everyone could pontificate and disregard his wishes and just force him to stay alive as a rotten vegetable, that would have been pretty funny.
or maybe like, a horrible car accident where he is the only one hurt, but he loses a couple limbs and has horrible infections and bleeding and dies a painful death over a few months. that would have been pretty boss, too.
ohhh or maybe his wife could have divorced him on his death bed after telling her shes been freaking the cabana boy from their trip to hedonism.
in short, im happy he is dead.

  Rest assured the prick suffered.  Cancer will do that.

I am in no way shape or form any sort of moral authority, but I can't imagine celebrating the death of another person without feeling like a disgusting piece of excrement. Especially to do so because a person has a different opinion from me. If you want to celebrate the death of a child molester or rapist I can understand that. But this excrement is a serious mental freaking disease.

It's especially interesting for people who feel like they have the moral high ground because their opinions are better than someone else's, then to act out with glee upon to them dying from freaking cancer

Osama is the one exception to that rule.

You'll notice that I have done no celebrating, merely observed that it seems reasonable for someone who lived their life sowing hatred and vitriol to be remembered for it.

I don't disagree that it's not unreasonable to think someone who (anyone thinks) is a piece of excrement during their life is one after it ended.

It's just a seriously sick mentality with internet culture.

If someone wants to attempt to make the argument that someone is truly an exception to a rule, it's fair to at least hear them out. That's the biggest problem with political discourse is people are all on freaking teams and have a closed mind to actual ideas

But when it happens with literally every single mother fucker, then you know the issue is with the mentality and mindset.

Book News: Rush Limbaugh Wins Children's Book 'Author Of The Year' Award

Conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh won the Author of the Year award at the Children's Choice Book Awards for his book Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims: Time-Travel Adventures With Exceptional Americans, in which Rush Revere and a talking horse named Liberty travel back in time to visit the pilgrims. Although the book has never been a critical favorite — one review accused it of "disdain for even the most rudimentary standards of storytelling" — it has been an enormous commercial success. Four finalists for the award were chosen because of their places on bestseller lists, and the winner was chosen by children's votes.

both Harris and Mauser were excellent.  Just like Bon Scott and Brian Johnson.

Bon Scott was an excellent singer.  Brian Johnson's an excellent dude but he often sounds like he's painfully squeezing out a reluctant deuce

AC/DC with Bon Scott were an excellent blues-influenced rock and roll band.

AC/DC with Brian Johnson are one of the all time legends of rock music with a sound that is absolutely distinct from anyone who came before them, and have influenced pretty much the whole of the rock music world for the last four decades.

There is no comparison.

lmao......good god, listen to you two women!!!

Brian Johnson (fwiw) in an interview recalled how he had done some studio work pitching for a product (paid him 300 quid) and afterwards before he headed back homeward stopped in ACDC's studio to audition.  Long story short, he got the gig.  Fast forward: BJ's first song he ever wrote with ACDC was "Shook Me All Night Long" and after hearing a rough take of it the day after they recorded it remarked to Malcolm: "I think this might be the best song I ever heard" (this as the new guy mind you) at which point Malcolm said "you might be right."  Shall I find it for you Mr. Robert Christgau you Manatobic snob??

No idea. It seems distinctly possible, but I have no way of knowing. It's not really relevant though, people who show a wanton lack of respect for others' health and lives when a very simple solution like a rubber or a mask is available deserve very little sympathy when the same recklessness and disregard costs them theirs.

There's a reason he has an award named after him. He's a poster child for covidiocy, and while I didn't revel in his passing I think he's posthumously providing far more value and public service than he ever did when he was alive.

He can regret doing it, he can apologize, he can take responsibility for it, but at some point his actions led to the death of millions of Iraqis and thousands of Americans. He's not the worst person involved in kicking off OIF, but he's also not innocent.

What is inarguable is that he was the man who freed Mandela and in doing so made the ending of apartheid unstoppable.

This, too.

Thanks to the sanctions and international pressure there was already broad support for ending Apartheid among the white minority government (1992 referendum on Apartheid: the vote to continue negotiations to end Apartheid passed 2:1, with the no vote only carrying two provinces).

De Klerk was also accused of either authorizing or failing to punish officials who participated in numerous violent raids against opposition parties.

It's complicated and like I said I don't think he was a white supremist because one would not have done what he did, that doesn't mean he's South Africa's version of Abe Lincoln. I suppose he could have held his nose and did it.


The fact that he's hated by many whites and blacks, on the face of it, means he probably did something right and something wrong and there's no good answer for him.

I am not debating if he was a good guy or not because I have no idea, but he ended Apartheid against his parties wishes taking many by surprise, not sure if that's the correct moniker.

Fair point Puck but en route to the presidency, during his days as a minister de Klerk supported and enforced apartheid.  And call me cynical but any 'magnanimity' one may want to credit de Klerk with should be viewed in context, i.e. that apartheid made less and less sense economically in the face of an increasingly strident international court of public opinion. 

edit - true trivia:  Douglaston, Queens' own John Patrick McEnroe was offered $1,000,000 to play an exhibition against Bjorn Borg in Sun City back in the day.  While the 'progressive' Swede Borg was game, Johnny Mac to his everlasting credit refused.

de Klerk is basically Gorbachev. True believer in the system that was sort of forced to change it, kinda sorta realized the system they were supporting was fucked but too ingrained/old. But he was also behind atrocities like the Craddock Four.

Ultimately I do think it's harder than given credit for to dismantle such systems and to get the Nats to lay down arms (even if things were trending in that way) and for that he should get at least some credit.

My dad and I attended the same high school 30+ years apart. The same baseball/basketball coach was there both times. I saw a pic of him from the 1970s and he looked old even back then. I think part of it is just the 20th century lifestyle compared to now.

Ray's father Al lived two doors down from my parents when we lived in Union New Jersey. Whenever he'd come visit his dad, he'd grab my older brother and his friends and play street basketball with them.

I was only like 7 years old, but Ray couldn't have been nicer to me, my brother and specifically my grandmother who must have reminded him 100 times whenever she saw him how she remembered him as Joey Perini from Another World. Just a super warm, unassuming guy whenever he'd come home.

Most obituaries are framing Gorbachev positively as "the man who ended the Cold War," which ignores the disastrous impact the dissolution of the USSR had on the population as well as the direct path leading to what Russia has become today.

Ignores what?  While perestroika initially did give rise to bad elements of capitalism (shortages, black markets) at the same time price controls were being removed in spots, they were still subject to a lot of the prevailing bureaucratic models that were kept in place which allowed communist officials to resist those policies that did not benefit them personally.  Sidenote: and putting most of their externally-generated income in the proverbial 'one basket' (oil/energy) didn't help.  In any event, in the end, Gorbachev dropping the Brezhnev Doctrine ("N.B. satellite states: you're free to *cough* 'self-determination'....provided....or else...")  sped up the dissolution of the Soviet empire and by extention the Iron Curtain.  Then: Iron Curtain.  Post USSR: Iron Maiden. 

Your mileage may vary but in the big, eventual picture the dissolution of the Iron Curtain was a good thing; again just my opinion not to mention Czechoslovakia, Hungry, Poland, the Baltic states, East Germany, etc., etc.    Certainly better than the days of Nikki Khrushchev pounding his winged tips on U.N. tables while snarling "we will bury you!"

There was a push in the early aughts to squeeze every possible cent out of the dying era of teen pop sensations, so the Machine started chewing through their kid siblings: Ashlee Simpson, Jamie Lynn Spears... Aaron was a Backstreet Boys brother. 

I don't think marginal fame treated any of them kindly.

^ That Blake man-with-a-tan was a handsome cuz….. :-l

Blake was a masochistic oddball.  Consider:

- He himself was married 3x
- His “murdered wife in question” was his 2nd wife
- As for his ‘murdered wife in question’:
- She had been married 9x before; Blake was her TENTH husband
 - Further, note the # of “same year” wedding/annulment/divorce

* What nut marries a babe who has NINE divorces/annulments under her belt?

** What did this woman have that she could rope that many suckers into marrying her?   (  l  )

Not sure if pornstars have always met tragic ends at the current rate and it just wasn't as publicized but holy excrement it seems like the industry is in an epidemic.

The more depressing news is that Mister Cee died. Big Daddy Kane was my favorite rap artist as a kid. Kinda still my all-time fave, even though there have been a lot who were "better."

I had no idea Cee is credited with discovering B.I.G. too. Saw that in the obits.

This. Exactly this. I get out of work during his Rock the Bells show from 10pm-midnight and was shocked. He was literally on the night before.
